Festival of Speed - Sat 3rd July

[scrubberamit]

anyone going? few of us from PHN (www.petrolheadnirvana.com ) are going

[Fasteddie]

going but on the Sunday, with my Boy. it'll be his first trackside event can't wait. Off to the GP with the wife the week after too, followed by the track day at Brands GP what a great week (and a bit)

[sailorbaz]

I'm going down from the Friday through to the Sunday, camping out with my Dad. Will be some weekend!

Taking Dad's 335d though, should be a comfortable 400miles down. Keep the miles off the CSL :thumbs: 335d Coupe is seriously nimble and looks the berries in White with the Imola Red leather! :drool:

Needless to say I'll be driving most of the way but Dad does like to sit at ***mph so maybe I'll let him drive for the bulk of the Empty M'Ways.

Leave in 4hrs for the flight down.

Going Fri and Sat with my mate and his son.

Baz,
Look out for the CSL Register t-shirt ;)


Booked ourselves in for a session of this tonight to get into the spirit of things

Great afternoon spent at Goodwood today. Have fun over the weekend I may be there on the Sunday too.

A few snippets of the afternoon taken on me iphone yesterday (due to me forgetting the cam once again), so only managed to bag a few of the many special cars that attended.

Was a great day to go as it was dead and I believe it was the first year they've done the moving motor show, which allowed you to get a ride in any of the cars for the hill climb. However it didn't go according to plan with some idiot allowing one of the passengers to drive from Honda. When setting off in the paddock the guy had a fit, crashing into the Jaguar stand, taking out 3 staff, an XKR and their E-type.

I'll be going down on Sunday, seem to be in a different car everytime I go! Should be a good, crack Ken Block is making an appearance aswell :)

[Fasteddie]

No way, can't believe, A) you could get a ride, did not know that and B) why oh why would they let anyone do this, twat has firmly reminded any organiser of why they don't! btw the Celica was the second fastest car up th ehill on teh Sunday, behind a Williams Cosworth! 700bhp in that there Celica! The van based on teh XJ220 was also very quick!

I wasnt happy last Friday, sitting on my ass in a Chichester sub station waiting for a 56 tonne transformer to arrive, and you lot choking up the roads making him 5 hours late !! :banghead:
By the time I had offloaded it, installed it, packed up, got home it was 2:30 am in morning !!

Was a great 2 days, I have to say. I'll be back. Loads of photos, but haven't had a minute to upload them. Might have seen your CSL in the car park on the Sunday Wazadaza, and spied another 2 on the Sat, photos coming. ;-)

Yeah was a great day. I didn't see any other CSL's at all. I did see the M3 at the BMW stand with CSL alloys - jury's out for me on that one. Look forward to the photos :)

Tis true, we got invited by Jaguar but when arriving in the afternoon got told that Jaguar couldn't offer us any due to what happened and was obvious to us when we saw the state of the stand. Bit hard with a written off XKR! However we could have got rides with other manufacturers in the paddock. Remember this was the first yr they did this... and prob the last too! :banghead:
